This paper describes the design, fabrication, and measured results of a W-band Cassegrain antenna suitable for the target detecting fuze sensor. The Cassegrain antenna is designed using MATLAB and MWS of CST. We use the multi-mode horn antenna as a feeder. The measurement results are as follows: The gain is about 41dB; SLL is 17.7dB; 3dB beamwidth is about $1.51^{\circ}$ in E-plane and $1.45^{\circ}$ in H-plane. The magnitude of leakage signals is about 43.5mVpp when the fabricated antenna and the transceiver of the fuze sensor ire combined. As a result, the designed W-band Cassegrain antenna could be quite applicable to the target detecting fuze sensor.

In this paper, we describe the design, fabrication, and test results of a W-band FMCW radar for the metal target detection under the ground clutter environment. In order to detect metal targets on the ground, we used a single cassegrain antenna with the beamwidth of $1.45^{\circ}$ which forms pencil-beam footprint on the ground. A log envelope detector was applied to improve radar performance in the severe ground clutter known as Weibull and log normal clutter. The designed FMCW radar can acquire altitude information from the ground clutter with $\sigma_0=-23dB$ at the height of 160m. The fabricated W-band FMCW radar transmits 11 dBm power and the dynamic range of the receiver is from -106dBm to -30dBm. The performances of the fabricated sensors were tested out in the fields and detected a car target of 200m apart on the grass.

In this paper, we propose a design method of the millimeter-wave(W-Band) waveguide cavity harmonic voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) using a Gunn diode for the armor sensor. Using the 3-dimensional simulation tool(Ansoft $HFSS^{TM}$), we were able to find the impedance matching point between waveguide and Gunn diode and estimate the oscillation frequency. A varactor diode is used for the frequency tuning, and we find out the equation for the calculation of the tunable frequency range. The designed VCO shows good performances; 17dBm output power at 94GHz center frequency, 520MHz frequency tuning range similar to the estimated value(480MHz).

For the purpose of utilization in 3-D conformal radiotherapy and whole body radiosurgery, the Whole Body 3-Dimensional Topographic Radiation Therapy System has been developed. Whole body frame was constructed in order to be installed on the couch. Radiopaque catheters were engraved on it for the dedicated coordinate system and a MeV-Green immobilizer was used for the patient setup by the help of side panels and plastic rods. By designing and constructing the whole body frame in this way, geometrical limitation to the gantry rotation in 3-D conformal radiotherapy could be minimized and problem which radiation transmission may be altered in particular incident angles was solved. By analyzing CT images containing information of patient setup with respect to the whole body frame, localization and coordination of the target is performed so that patient setup error may be eliminated between simulation and treatment. For the verification of setup, the change of patient positioning is detected and adjusted in order to minimize the setup error by means of comparison of the body outlines using 3 CCTV cameras. To enhance efficiency of treatment procedure, this work can be done in real time by watching the change of patient setup through the monitor. The method of image subtraction in IDL (Interactive Data Language) was used to visualize the change of patient setup. Rotating X-ray system was constructed for detecting target movement due to internal organ motion. Landmark screws were implanted either on the bones around target or inside target, and variation of target location with respect to markers may be visualized in order to minimize internal setup error through the anterior and the lateral image information taken from rotating X-ray system. For CT simulation, simulation software was developed using IDL on GUI(Graphic User Interface) basis for PC and includes functions of graphic handling, editing and data acquisition of images of internal organs as well as target for the preparation of treatment planning.

We have developed SH (shear horizontal) surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors for detection of the immobilization and hybridization of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) on the gold coated delay line of transverse SAW devices. The experiments of DNA immobilization and hybridization were performed with 15-mer oligonucleotides (probe and complementary target DNA). The sensor consists of twin SAW delay line oscillators operating at 100 MHz fabricated on $36^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut $LiTaO_3$ piezoelectric single crystals. The relative change in the frequency of the two oscillators was monitored to detect the hybridization between target DNA and immobilized probe DNA in pH 7.4 PBS (phosphate buffered saline) solution. The measurement results showed a good response of the sensor to the mass loading effects of the DNA immobilization and hybridization with the sensitivity up to $1.55{\cal}ng/{\cal}ml/Hz$.

In general, the guided weapon seeker and the guided control device process the target, search, recognition, and capture information to indicate the state of the guided missile, and play a role in controlling the operation and control of the guided weapon. The signals required for guided weapons are gaze change rate, visual signal, and end-stage fuselage orientation signal. In order to process the complex and difficult-to-process missile signals of recent missiles in real time, it is necessary to increase the data processing speed of the missiles. This study showed the processing speed after applying the stop and go and inverse enumeration algorithm among the parallel algorithm methods of PINQ and comparing the processing speed of the signal data required for the guided missile in real time using the guided missile inspection program. Based on the derived data processing results, we propose an effective method for processing missile data when applying a parallel processing algorithm by comparing the processing speed of the multi-core processing method and the single-core processing method, and the CPU core utilization rate.

Development of AI and big data-based algorithms to advance and optimize the recognition and detection performance of various static/dynamic vehicles in front and around the vehicle at a time when securing driving safety is the most important point in the development and commercialization of autonomous vehicles. etc. are being studied. However, there are many research cases for recognizing the same vehicle by using the unique advantages of radar and camera, but deep learning image processing technology is not used, or only a short distance is detected as the same target due to radar performance problems. Therefore, there is a need for a convergence-based vehicle recognition method that configures a dataset that can be collected from radar equipment and camera equipment, calculates the error of the dataset, and recognizes it as the same target. In this paper, we aim to develop a technology that can link location information according to the installation location because data errors occur because it is judged as the same object depending on the installation location of the radar and CCTV (video).

The Counter-battery radar estimates the origin and impact point of the artillery by tracking the trajectory of the shell. In addition, it has the ability of identifying the type of weapon. Depending on the position between the shell and the radar, the detected signals appear differently. This has ambiguity to distinguish the type of shells. This paper compares fuzzy logic and artificial intelligence, which classifies type of shell using the parameter of signal processing step. According to the research result, artificial intelligence can improve identification rate of type of shell. The data used in the experiment was obtained from a live fire detection test.

미래 전쟁은 과거의 재래식 전쟁과는 판이하게 변화된 환경 속에서 새로운 전투 형태와 방법으로 전개될 것이다. 특히, 첨단 기술의 급속한 발전은 전장에서 싸우는 방법을 변화시키는 주요 요인이라고 할 수 있다. 전장에서 적을 먼저 발견하고 타격하기 위해서는 실시간 표적 획득 및 첩보 수집과 정확한 상황판단 및 적시적인 지휘가 요구되기 때문에 정보 수집 자산이 부족한 사 여단급 부대를 대상으로 감시 정찰 센서 네트워크 시스템을 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 평시 체계와 전시 체계의 운용 개념이 부족한 상태에서 실 세계에 적용하는 것은 유지비용의 증가, 감지 오류, 야전 환경과의 부적합 등을 야기한다. 따라서, 이러한 문제점의 해결 대안으로 이 논문에서는 지상군 작전에서 적의 조기 발견과 전장 가시화에 필요한 전장감시 센서 네트워크 시스템을 위한 상황 인식 프레임 워크를 제안하였다.
